Selah Theatre Project Opens New Winchester Home With ‘Clue’
By Royal Examiner
After 15 seasons of performing in borrowed and rented spaces around the region, Selah Theatre Project is preparing to open the doors to a permanent home in downtown Winchester.
The Winchester-based nonprofit theater company will open the Vivienne L. Jackson Sanctuary for the Arts, located at 302 N. Braddock St. in the former First United Methodist Church, with a production of the comedy-mystery “Clue.” Performances are scheduled for Oct. 9-11 and Oct. 16-18.
The opening marks a major change for Selah, which has spent its first 15 seasons operating as a “roaming” theater company. It has staged productions in different locations throughout the region rather than in its own theater.
The new space, commonly called VLJ, comes after years of planning, fundraising, and community partnerships. Selah plans to use the building for its own productions while also making it a gathering and performance space for other members of Winchester’s arts community.
